Salutation to this bright one, salute to his coming; homage to Earth and Heaven. Salutations to the gods, to their Lord—this deed of mind we revere with homage to his coming.
Reverence be to the potent (company of universal gods); I offer (them) reverence; reverence sustains both earth and heaven; revernce be to the gods; reverence is sovereign over them; I expiate by reverence whatever sin may have been committed.
Mighty is homage: I adopt and use it. Homage hath held in place the earth and heaven. Homage to Gods! Homage commands and rules them. I banish even committed sin by homage
